In short: Cracking race with its fair share of slopesIn full: Really enjoyable race although surprisingly hilly in places (though not hugely challenging). Good spread of abilities and well represented by club runners. Felt humid on the day, definitely a vest only affair this year. Great that no headphones were allowed.Date of review: June 13, 2012

In short: One of the most special races in the UKIn full: I always think of the start and finish. Idyllic place to start,welcoming team,great starter. Then the run through glorious countryside. A challenging route undulating to say the least but only challenging,not off-putting. Brilliantly stewarded. The commentator at the finish is friendly,knowledgable about the teams and runners -name checks right to the end .It's chip timed, local pubs are friendly enough to allow toilet overspill at the start (that's people, not....OK, let's move on). It's a lovely race. All credit to the club who run it. Oh, and you can get out of parking in 2 minutes...unlike other Surrey races who have problems in that regard. Bravo- my 4th Dorking race (every one consistently good) and not my last! Date of review: June 10, 2012

In short: Smoothly organised, right down to the perfect weather!In full: OK the perfect weather conditions for running helped (not too hot or too windy, rain held off), but this was a very well organised and marshalled race. Hilly but nothing too challenging, a great atmosphere, I had a lovely morning and will definitely be back next year!Date of review: June 10, 2012

In short: Slick no problems 10 milerIn full: A fun well organised course. A couple hills but still a fast route.For late comers (like me) it would have been great to have a sign directing us from HQ to the start line. Other than that really enjoyed the run and will be back next year.Date of review: June 9, 2011

In short: Very good event.In full: A good, mostly traffic free event for real men and for real women, an easy walk down from Dorking station. Not exactly flat, and consequently challenging, there might have been better signage from race HQ to the start, but the run itself was quite pretty although without a rutting fox in sight.Date of review: June 8, 2011

In short: Excellent and challenging run!In full: Very well organised and a nice challenge with hills along the way. The goody bag could replace the lenore and chilly crisps though but well worth doing! Date of review: June 6, 2011
